CL65 CREW RETURNS TO LAND AFTER GETTING GEAR DISAGREE WARNING ON GEAR RETRACTION. GEAR PINS WERE FOUND INSTALLED.

Narrative

I WAS ASSIGNED BY MY COMPANY TO ACCOMPANY AN FO TO REPOSITION AN ACFT BACK TO ATL; GA. PRIOR TO DEP BACK TO ATL THE FO STARTED HIS WALKAROUND (PREFLT). I INSTRUCTED HIM THAT DUE TO THE FACT THIS WAS A MAINT BASE; BE EXTRA CAUTIOUS ON ALL ITEMS OF PREFLT. ON THE TKOF; WHEN THE GEAR WAS SELECTED UP; WE RECEIVED A 'GEAR DISAGREE' MESSAGE. WE RAN THE APPROPRIATE CHKLIST AND IT TOLD US TO PUT GEAR HANDLE BACK DOWN -- ALL MESSAGES CLRED. AS PER THE CHKLIST WE RETURNED TO NEAREST SUITABLE ARPT; WHERE MAINT FOUND A GEAR PIN IN THE NOSE GEAR. THERE WAS NO RED FLAG ON THE PIN AND IT WAS SAFETY WIRED IN. I CALLED MY CHIEF PLT AND INFORMED HIM OF SIT AND ASKED IF THERE WAS ANY FURTHER ACTION REQUIRED. I ASKED FOR AND RECEIVED A NEW RELEASE AND FILLED OUT A RPT PER COMPANY POLICY. UPON RETURNING TO THE ACFT FOR SECOND DEP; THE FO PROCEEDED TO DO ANOTHER WALKAROUND WHILE I COMPLETED THE PREFLT CHKS. I THEN PROCEEDED TO DO A PREFLT OF MY OWN. AT THIS POINT; I FOUND GEAR PINS IN BOTH MAIN GEAR AS WELL. BOTH WITH NO FLAGS AND SAFETY WIRED; SAME AS THE NOSE GEAR. I WAS LATER TOLD THE ACFT WAS FERRIED WITH THE GEAR DOWN THE WK PRIOR AND MAINT NEVER REMOVED THEM. I ALSO PULLED THE FO OUT AND SHOWED HIM THE 2 REMAINING GEAR PINS. I ALSO INFORMED HIM THAT THIS PERFORMANCE WAS UNACCEPTABLE; MISSING THE GEAR PINS TWICE ON 2 SEPARATE PREFLTS; AND NOT WITHIN STANDARDS OF COMPANY POLICIES. UPON ARR INTO ATL I TOLD THE FO THAT THIS WOULD BE DISCUSSED WITH THE CHIEF PLT AND FORMS FILED. THE CHIEF PLT INTERVIEWED ME AND INFORMED ME NO ACTION WOULD BE TAKEN AGAINST ME; BUT THE FO WOULD BE FOLLOWED UP WITH.
